“Comedy Nights Live” has not received good reviews after its first episode was telecasted; however, the comedian Bharti Singh is pretty hopeful that soon they will also get the same love and affection of viewers which they showered on Kapil Sharma and his show “Comedy Nights With Kapil.”
In an interview, Bharti expressed her opinion over not receiving good reviews for their new show, “I know we have not got good reviews about for new show ‘Comedy Nights Live’. Fans of ‘Comedy Circus’ and Krushna, and the ones who love/follow my work have liked the show. But fans of Comedy Nights with Kapil, who are disappointed by the closure of the show, are not very impressed and I can understand they are hurt. So, their reaction is justified. They were addicted to CNWK, but I am sure in some time we will win them over too.”
When she was asked whether there is any feeling of pressure since they will be competing against Kapil, Bharti says that Kapil is her guru and there is no competition with him; in fact, she has a lot of respect for him. She made it clear that they all are performers and they won’t miss a chance to entertain the public. What’s more, she also added that they too have their financial concerns. In the words of Bharti, “Agar koi khane ki bhari hui thali chod gaya hai… Toh hum uss khane ki insult toh nahi hone denge na.. Hum ne woh thali le li. We all are entertainers and our job is to entertain people. We got an opportunity to perform and bring a smile on viewers faces. We feel very proud that the channel showed faith in us and we will do everything to do justice to the show.”
She further maintained, “As far as competition with Kapil is concerned, I would like to clear that there can be no competition with Kapil. He is my guru. I have learnt theatre from him and have immense respect. I was most disappointed and sad when Comedy Nights with Kapil went off-air as I loved the show.”
When Bharti was asked about making fun of Kapil in their show, she stated, “I don’t think there is anything wrong in that. We are using his house, his set, so there will be jokes and punches cracked on him. We have kept Kapil alive on CNL, that’s the reason I am playing his son on the show. He was there on TV for three years and we know people will be missing him. This is just our way to keep reminding viewers that even we love Kapil Sharma.”
